Abstract
The present disclosure provides for assemblies and methods for mounting a patch panel rack to a wire cable management pathway. A waterfall base is mounted with respect to and in between a pair of mounting brackets. Each of the pair of mounting brackets includes a support surface defining a top portion and a bottom portion, a front side surface and a rear side surface. The top portion associated with the support surface includes at least one upwardly extending wire cable management pathway mounting feature adapted to securely mount the pair of mounting brackets with respect to a wire cable management pathway. The wire management pathway mounting feature can be at least one substantially curved mounting clip feature having a horizontally extending fold over tab defining a gap opening to receive at least one wire associated with a wire cable management pathway. The curved mounting clip feature is fabricated to substantially curve inwardly with respect to the waterfall base thereby substantially defining a U-shape geometry. In an further exemplary embodiment, the top portion associated with the support surface includes a plurality of upwardly extending wire cable management pathway mounting features.
